Home-based Augmented Reality Storybook Training Modules for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

The AR system was developed using a Vuforia Engine Package for Unity (PTC Inc, San Diego, CA), which enabled to create an application for children to view a storybook in their own homes. The children and caregivers could view eight scenarios (receiving a praise, broken toys, waiting in line at the playground, getting a vaccination, waiting for watching a video, hitting someone in an accident, grabbing a toy, understanding another person's feelings) and learn strategies for emotional events reflected in the tablet (Figure 1). This AR application supports a tablet size of 10.4 inches and is equipped with a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7.
